coincidence

the previous post was something i did today. but in a serendipitous moment, i came upon an email someone sent to me that i almost deleted (as i am a delete-addict of all forwards). but when i opened it, my jaw dropped because it is all too close for comfort. especially after that post.

here goes:
TO LET GO TAKES LOVE
- Margaret J. Rinck

To "let go" does not mean to stop caring, it means that I can't do everything
for someone else.
To "let go" is not to cut myself off, it is the realization that I can't control
another.
To "let go" is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences.
To "let go" is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my
hands.
To "let go" is not to try to change or blame another, it is to make the most of
myself.
To "let go" is not to care for, but to care about.
To "let go" is not to fix, but to be supportive.
To "let go" is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.
To "let go" is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes, but to allow
others to effect their own destinies.
To "let go" is not to be protective, it is to permit another to face reality.
To "let go" is not to deny, but to accept.
To "let go" is not to nag, scold, argue, but instead to search out my own
shortcomings and correct them.
To "let go" is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as
it comes, and cherish myself in it.
To "let go" is not to criticize and regulate anybody, but to try to become what
I dream I can be.
To "let go" is not to regret the past, but to grow and to live for the future.
To "let go" is to fear less and to love more.
